« on: January 31, 2009, 09:08:08 am »

for those who dont know there Passat items with silver accent, hopefully they will liven the slightly dull looking switches up

Well as i couldn't find the stock numbers to get a cost from the dealers I got the whole kit from a German ebayer and I paid 130 euros which if the rate wasn't so crap would have been quite good, even so for six parts that's not too bad IMO , especially as I'm told the headlight switch is about £50 on it's own

I hate it when there's a slight mist around and suddenly everyone turns on their foglights!
Quote
# use front or rear fog lights unless visibility is seriously reduced. You MUST switch them off when visibility improves to avoid dazzling other road users (see Rule 226)

# you MUST use headlights when visibility is seriously reduced, generally when you cannot see for more than 100 metres (328 feet). You may also use front or rear fog lights but you MUST switch them off when visibility improves (see Rule 236).

Yet I see muppets look around, see some fog and turn them on when you can see more than a mile down the road!


Anyway, I digress. Love the look. Was planning on this mod but didn't trust buying from Germany, especially since the guy's English wasn't particularly brilliant.

What tools did you need to do these mods?

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

i like this mod  :happy2:

i think the subtle the change the better the mod sometimes, the sort that make people see that somethings different but they can't work out what

Very nice, I did the headlight switch a few months ago on mine. Definitely makes the interior a little bit nicer.
